The Holiday Party

Is going to be a bit different then I had hoped, but I think we can still have fun with it in guild. I think it works better if we just make it to be an in guild event, where we can drink, celebrate, and have fun within the guild during the month of December.

'd like to do the following things;

• Every Saturday we get together and can exchange in game gifts and do 1 mini-game each weekend. So we have 1 holiday party every saturday to make sure everyone can experience a little bit of it. So please respond and tell me which week of Decemeber is best for you to hang out so we can make it as fun as possible.
  
• I'd like to have music lists or a movie show each Saturday where we can all act in character, or participate in out of character. Examples might include a Drinking Game or Movie Trivia. So we spend time together in the GH with each other and get comfortable.
  
• Secret Solstice where you buy 1 in game gift for a person in the guild. Then the officers pass them out. Only officers will know who's buying what for whom. If you'd like to participate in this, please post a reply below.
  
• Alexio's Special in guild treat. I have something very special in the works for the guild. It should be completed December eve and will be posted here for everyone to witness it. I hope you guys look forward to it.
  
• I'd like to have a shared music list on youtube, but we need more music requests. Please find videos you want to share with the guild and post a link to the video below. The more we have, the more fun it becomes.
  

If there are any other questions or comments. Post below. Thank you.

hey i know i havent been on much lately and thas because ive been extreamly busy in RL ...if u need help with the party in any way and im on let me know and ill see what i can do

Great idea it's smarter then trying to get other people outside of the guild to join sad thing is I'm gunna miss it Q.Q i'd love to be there but I can't bit I think it's a better idea this way.

This might be easier to pull atm. Maybe we can help ppl get their drunk titles If we hold some of the events from the party on Saturday and Sundays we might get more ppl involved. Which in turn might help more with trying to get the party up and going. I will be here this Saturday after 11pm cause I am stuck working then Sunday I have a football game bt after it im here. Also Friday night . Not to sure how they are here due to work but ill be home by 11pm my time and can try to help pull it together.

Ohhhh Maybe we do a help lvl or get ppl to certain spots in game then also reward ppl with booze. IDK just something to throw up in the air. Maybe with the holidays coming we can get more ppl online more often and also with help with things and games.. It might start off small the first couple of times but then pan off as ppl get wind of it..

Like I said Ideas but im all for anything trying to make it better

Oh.. WHat about a secret Santa... Lol still my brain is going hehe So I might have a few posts to this idea


I can issue everyone in Both VNV and HROC a number then roll and give ppl a number rolled then boom they have thier secret santa person

Well as for Secret Santa, that was sorta what I was planning for Secret Solstice.

yes but if we do a weekly secret santa and the guild provides the gift might be cool and the ppl only get it if they are logged in together...

Today is a mini party!

I'll be giving away items in the gh and elsewhere trying to recruit. Help and company is more then appreciated. The more folks we have, the more that get involved, the more fun stuff we can do. Thanks everybody.

For our holiday music list visit www.youtube.com/hroc

We still need more music videos on youtube. Let's make it fun for everyone.

I like what we did the other night it drew ppl here and seemed to work.. I think we should do it once a week and itll make us grow

I agree, and officers should be required to post something on this webbie at least once a week. Coming here and never seeing anything new, wants me to not come to check..
per

As time goes on it seems like HROC may be losing it's grasp. I don't necessarily want to say it, but it seems like until GW2 comes out, we're all going to be on our own. Most of us in the guild already solo most of our missions (use heroes/henchmen) mainly because we have such vastly different schedules.

In addition many of us have been busy and we're down to 3 officers, and I know zim has been insanely busy. But with 3 officers and nobody on, even if we do manage to recruit, they're not going to stay. It's like saying "Join HROC if you just want to have a guild name and solo all the games."

I personally plan on staying until GW2 comes out. I still have things to do in game, and I can try to help whenever possible, but when it comes to recruiting/posting, I think we're out of luck. It hurts my morale when we get folks to join and I see em leave a few days later. At the same time I can kinda understand.

Not placing blame on anyone, just stating the facts the way I see it.

it would be impossible to be on 24, 7. It would be nice if folk (officers in particular) could estimate a day (even if its 2 or 3 days a week) and time to be here, and then be here. See who is on and talk to them. We are mostly people who have jobs or school, and those will get in the way quickly. Don't have to wait till they talk to you...
I'm usually not here till ten EST

I kept checking yesterday (party was supposed to be sat) and today for folk to be here to party. Kinda hard to party by yourself. No wonder nubys are frustrated.

I kinda agree with peri cause jobs are a first when it comes to it and kids can't just ditch school. Though I can't really say much since I've been gone for 2-3 months and haven't been active at all on the site or in game but life is hard ATM with what's going on in the world. But alexio is right if no one is really active we can't help and with recuriting I can't help either. That's what I gotta I know it doesn't help so I'll leave of at that.

At least you were willing to come and post and let folk know you were going to be out of pocket, and appear when you could. Seems like others just kinda poof... they are gone, then come back and wonder what is going on

Just recruit when ever possible. The biggest thing is to keep the ones we have, and keep communicating, and ask everyone to post a message about joining, and ask your real life friends as well. I would have never found this guild if I had not met MTW in person. (working on drywall) LOL
My idea of recruting? Angel turned me into a robot and I told everyone that they should join or else.. lol

True but you don't have to worry when I get back after Christmas I'll keep active and recurit hoping to come back and really help and regain some "points" with the guild and help some people out when I can.

Ya things have been getting a bit rough with talkers and getting ppl involved. I myself have been not gaming as much as i like cause of working both clubs its rough but hopefully after the new year we can all make a new fresh start and get things rolling again..

We miss u dude..

Hope the kiddies and fam are good.

I love it! coming here and actually seeing ppl post! its great! Posting IS involvement! The next person that comes and reads this, post and say hi... PLEASE???

Haven't seen you online much. Haven't seen anyone online much. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoys a happy holiday season.

Its the holidays, and hunny is laid off, like every year...
so I cant be here, gotta cook, clean, yada yada...

That sux. But I no the feeling work seems to be killing everyone. But hey gotta pay the bills somehow I guess..

I hope everyone has a good holiday as well Miss everyone..

Well if every thing goes well i should be saying a huge damn Hello come the 27th/28th when i might get my new com O.o so lets hope this works but its true everyone has bills to pay its stressful for everyone.
